This to me is the flavour of winter and while I can't make this over the wood stove like my Mom used to during a power outage. The slow cooker is a great way to make this meal.

2 Tbsp Sugar
2 cups flour
1/2 tsp salt
2/3 cup lard (in most stores you can buy Tenderflake lard right next to the shortening). I know it sounds horrible to use lard, but it really makes the best crusts!
6-7 Tbsp Ice cold vodka
1. Place dry ingredients in a mixing bowl and cut lard into the dry ingredients
2. Next mix one tablespoon of ice cold water into the dry ingredients at a time until the mixture is unified.
3. Chill dough for 15 minutes in refrigerator
4. Roll dough out in a floured surface and place in a pie dish

I love all things sweet potato. You may not think the flavours of this go together but they do, and beautifully I might add! This is not an overly sweet scone that you might have with a coffee or tea. It pairs nicely with soup but is sweeter than a traditional biscuit.

Most people associate memories with flavours. This is the recipe that I associate with Nana and evenings after the sunset at the shore. The cookbook she uses for the recipe opens directly to the page of the recipe, proving how often it is used. This is not a fancy or secret recipe it's actually out of a very old copy of the Gold Medal Flour cookbook. I'm sure many families have used similar recipes, but it is one of my favourite flavour memories.

This is another Starbucks copy-cat iced tea drink which will make a very refreshing new favourite in your summertime lineup.
